Tigers Wheelchair Rugby team up with Häfele

Leicester Tigers wheelchair rugby team will be sponsored by club partner and furniture fittings specialists Häfele for the next three seasons.

The partnership, which begins at the start of the new rugby season in September, will see Häfele become the wheelchair rugby team’s main partners.

Since being established in 2014, the Leicester Tigers Wheelchair Rugby Team has grown into one of the sport’s most competitive teams.

The team were crowned champions of the BT Super Series Division One for the first time in the club’s history last season with four Tigers players – Nick Cummins, Gavin Walker, Muhammad Islam and Jamie Stead - and also featuring in this summer’s World Championships tournament in Sydney, Australia.
